Using our independent research to create tools that make the built environment better

Providing services that empower our customers to achieve their goals

We look back at 20 years of BRE Trust achievements and positive impact.

It is 20 years since BRE came under the ownership of the BRE Trust – the largest UK charity dedicated specifically to research and education in the built environment. To celebrate it, a celebratory open day of seminars, tours and demonstrations on our Watford site was designed to give you a flavour of our past and present.

Making a positive difference in the built environment since 1921.

BRE is a world leading, multi-disciplinary, building science centre with a mission to improve buildings and infrastructure, through research and knowledge generation.

We use our cutting edge research to develop a range of products, services, standards and qualifications that are used around the world to bring about positive change in the built environment.

Modern Day Slavery Act

The Modern Slavery Act, which came into force in March 2016, has brought issues of slavery into sharp focus within the business and the construction industry. Watch our short video to understand where slavery might be hiding in your construction project.

We are committed to improving our practices to combat slavery and human trafficking. As standard setters in responsible sourcing, we feel that BRE should be the paragon of good practice in ensuring that workers are treated ethically and fairly no matter what they do or where they work. We will strive to improve our practices and to ensure that those we work with do so as well. Full Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement. If you have a concern about Modern Slavery and want help, report a suspicion or general advice please contact the Modern Slavery Helpline on 08000 121 700.
